Paintings from an East Bay group of landscape artists working outdoors.

Cummings Skyway

Open Land off Cummings Skyway 30" x 36" 2011

We have been trying to get to this location for the last several Monday sessions. I started this painting a couple years ago, during the hottest time of summer, when there had been an electrical fire under one of the power towers. (You can see it toward the right hand side of the painting.) This summer I went back and finally was able to finish it!
When I last drove past, little bits of green were starting to poke through the golden turf, and there was little wind.

This painting seems very strong. I think it is the simple composition that works well and makes it feel complete. Yet there is enough complexity in the colors to keep you looking. Makes me want to go there again. Hope we can make it this Monday

About

East Bay Landscape Painters is a group of artists of all media, styles and levels of experience. We meet once a week to paint outdoors in the parks and cities east of the San Francisco Bay Area.

It was on January 3rd, 2007 that Karen Zullo Sherr and Rebeca Garcia-Gonzalez went on the first outing of the East Bay Landscape Painters. Their only agreement was to paint outdoors weekly. Not soon after, they invited others and later came the blog. Betsy Kendall and Sharon Hind-Smith joined as coordinators. Today the group boasts an active mailing list of over 250 members. On any given Monday one can find 10-15 painters at the group's painting locations. The EBLP has had two ELBP shows and has great plans for the future. It continues to be a volunteer-run group, with camaraderie and mutual support as its values.
